Delegating to Others provides the tools necessary to develop messages that communicate the “what” and the “why” of every delegated task. Focusing on ensuring that the individual understands what is required helps facilitate a successful result – the work is done correctly, and the individual gains the benefits of a new experience and increased confidence and responsibility.

An organization can tell employees that they are responsible for their own growth and development, but many employees
will not or cannot achieve this on their own. They need motivation, support and coaching from their supervisors, team leaders and managers. Without this, they’ll have a difficult time developing their talents on their own. Research shows the support and effective involvement of leaders is the single most important factor in determining whether that the employee learns in
a classroom transfers into behavior change on the job. Leaders who are actively involved in the growth and development of
their team members encourage behavior change and improved performance. This takes leaders who:
• Continuously coach and support the development of their employees
• Encourage learners before, during and after each element in a learning process
• Effectively handle “coaching moments” so employees learn to teach themselves

For some employees, it seems like their daily job is to go from one meeting to another. Unproductive meetings hinder results and frustrate morale.

employees, and they require less micromanagement. They contribute to the organization and its success,
improving the organization’s competitive edge. The key is to find creative, proven ways to
